SetBkMode
The SetBkMode
function sets the background mix mode of the specified device context. The
background mix mode is used with text, hatched brushes, and pen styles that are
not solid lines.
int SetBkMode(
|
HDC hdc, |
// handle of device
context |
|
int iBkMode |
// flag specifying
background mode |
|
); |
|
Parameters
hdc
Identifies
the device context.
iBkMode
Specifies the
background mode. This parameter can be either of the following values:
|
Value |
Description |
|
OPAQUE |
Background
is filled with the current background color before the text, hatched brush,
or pen is drawn. |
|
TRANSPARENT |
Background
remains untouched. |
Return Values
If the
function succeeds, the return value specifies the previous background mode.
If the
function fails, the return value is zero.
Remarks
The SetBkMode
function affects the line styles for lines drawn using a pen created by the CreatePen
function. SetBkMode does not affect lines drawn using a pen created by
the ExtCreatePen function.
The iBkMode
parameter can also be set to driver-specific values. GDI passes such values to
the device driver and otherwise ignores them.
